president obama, first-term senator from illinois wins over hillary clinton. it's a model for how the republican primary might go. if santorum were to upset gingrich and romney i would say that is somewhat of an analogous. he is more experienced than president obama. first it looks like republicans might do what they've traditionally done, nominate someone who has run before and has some experience running. it can be a good thing. you run before. you learn how to do it. you introduce yourself to the voters earlier. it can also not be a great thing because if you nominate someone who lost last time, as republicans did with bob dole and john mccain in 1996 and 2008 who were both very fine men, impressive men, real impressive careers, they didn't turn out to be great general election candidates. host: let's hear from ed. he's in south carolina. conaway. an independent. go ahead, ed. caller: good morning, miss. i would really like to thank you for c-span because you are about the only people who tell the truth. mr. bill, you are very good at distorting the facts.
